The Lie That Binds by Amy Argent – Review by Darla Yocom

The Lie That Binds by Amy Argent
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lies, betrayal, teenage hormones, high school drama, bullying, and the effects of a serious medical condition makes for a very dramatic storyline.

Holly finds herself at a new high school, trying to fit in with the in-crowd. She finds the popular crowd are not welcoming but one handsome guy catches her eye. She quickly learns that this handsome fella is a bit mysterious due to his strange absences. This pet of the story quickly gave me Twilight/Edward Cullen vibes for a few seconds. Holly soon learns that although this guy is handsome, he’s definitely a jerk.

Nathan is the mysterious guy that has caught Holly’s attention and he has a secret. By accident, Holly learns of his secret which could have devastating circumstances for Nathan if she chooses to leak the information to their fellow high school students. Nathan has to decide how to handle the issue and to what extent he will protect his secret. Drama ensues.

I found the book to be a fast read and enjoyed the character building. The author did a great job representing the behavior and actions of a bunch of hormonal teenagers.

Hang in to your seats while this roller coaster of emotions hit you from beginning to end.

I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.
